I don't know if it's half. I talked to a student whose minoring in Gender Studies and asked if she believed everything she's learning, and she says no, but she knows what to say if anyone asks her. It took a long time to have this candid conversation. I don't know how to turn it around, because without merit based tests, knowing these right things to say is how elites maintain power/signal to other elites, but when it is turned around, I think the number of true believers will be less then expected.

Re: cancel culture, this is child's play to what's coming once it's institutionalized in the not too distant future-- they will have woke AI scan your entire internet history, every email, text, phone call you've ever made, anything you've ever written and will assign you a social credit score on that basis, and you will be cancelled if the social credit score is low enough. Additionally, your funds will be based on blockchain CBDCs and globohomo will lock you out of access to your funds, or steal them directly, with a social credit score low enough.
this is what's up next before the decade is out: the woke American dictatorship.
and it will happen with the 50% in favor insisiting that it's not happening (don't believe your lying eyes), and the 50% not in favor refusing to see and admit what we're living thru, until it's too late and the frog is boiled.
Totally believe this will happen. Was thinking of this a while back (even before the most recent AI "scare" stories...all of which have some truth). Nothing will be able to be protected or hidden--all data will be known through various means, algorythems, similar passwords, writing styles, IP addresses, etc. The only upside is there will be so many fakes and planting of data, there will likely be plausible deniability or counter-complaints. Also, there will be companies that arise who develop a software to defeat the AI search and destroy missions--and those will likewise, be based upon AI methods.
Dear committee members: Please consider this comment my general, open-ended and un-retractable criticism of your belief system. Whatever I said in the past, or whatever I might say in the future...stands.
And also, dear committee, a modest request, should I be unable to speak at the time: Please pick excellent marksmen for my firing squad. In the unlikely event you've actually managed to take me alive.
I grew up with the conceit that I was a free person living in a free country. I believed that that was the best way to be and that the US was the best place to be. I thought all Americans felt that way. I was wrong.
We are in the middle of a Maoist coup d' etat, with these assaults on people for expressing, or approving of, illegal thoughts or words. We also have their struggle sessions, which is what most of our J6 and other political prisoners like Roger Stone, have to endure. They have to admit their bad think, or else. Prisoners who blame Trump and/or admit their transgressions and beg forgiveness are always given lighter sentences. The Inquisition was similar to this, in that it was about totalitarian control, just not by atheists. The only difference is there haven't been any executions, yet. A great book to read about what is going on is "The World Turned Upside-down", by Yang Jisheng, and it's about Mao's Cultural Revolution. You'll see the similarities very quickly. Another thing you'll notice is that the purveyors of the Revolution will themselves, at some point, be victims as well, just like in the socialist countries. The National Socialists didn't bother with this song and dance: they'd just shoot the miscreant, or "transport him to the east". Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention, though.
Glad I'm no longer working but even when I was, my Twitter account never had my real name. I tweet and like all kinds of stuff that would have probably gotten me fired back when I worked for big Pfarma. It's pathetic that people have nothing better to do with their time than to troll accounts looking for poisonous "likes". GMAFB!
I had to read this article twice because my brain scrambled the headline. (That, and I didn't know there was a Thomas Jefferson university, so my brain thought we were talking about a Thomas Jefferson Twitter [parody?] account, not the president of TJU.)
I've never seen any effort to quantify this, but the number of people the European monarchies and the Church mass murdered over a millenia is vast - probably in the tens of millions or more. Much of that killing was for 1) things people said or 2) things people refused to say. That's what our ancestors founded this Constitutional Republic as a bulwark against. No need to look anywhere else for it. It's all in our own history.
He deserves to be fired for apologizing.
And he just may unlock that achievement.
🙌🏼💯
I don't dare "like" this. They'll come for me! :-)
Shit, I just clicked "like."
yeah welll ...
They'll come anyway. 'Tis a joke for ya, yeah? Yeah?! Frickin' trotskyite 😝
Our problem is that probably half of the country supports this dogma enforcement.
And most of the people who support it will be caught up in it, which will surprise them.
Why?! I FOLLOWED ALL THE RULES!
Until you didn't Moron.
Hi, Mr. Dollar. We travel in the same circles. The ones I know will definitely apologize and course-correct. And apologize again. They're Canadian.
We're so polite.
The rules changed. In mid-follow. To the gulag with you!

It's why the Soviet Union collapsed VERY QUICKLY at the end.
No one believed the lies anymore.

I'm pretty sure Larry Page falls into that category
You are so calm. My hair would be in handfuls on my desk. On top of the pink slip.

None of the possibilities, once people think and act this way, are good.

It won’t take until the end of the decade. I believe we’re already there now, in terms of the 50/50 split of the people.

“We’ve developed Eastern Bloc culture in a constitutional republic. How?”
Same way it has happened everywhere else: degraded moral and intellectual standards.
I grew up with the conceit that I was a free person living in a free country. I believed that that was the best way to be and that the US was the best place to be. I thought all Americans felt that way. I was wrong.
“To thine own self be true.” Don’t give up just yet, there are some of us left…

How did we get here? Because nobody had the spine to tell the cultural Marxists where to stuff their complaints.
So many things would have gone better if college presidents would expel students who violently protest.
On a calmer note, consider reading Christopher Caldwell's _The Age of Entitlement_.
How about they hire professors who aren't towing the WOKE cart and infecting young minds with complete bullshit.
The communists won. We're living in their America now.
Correct

It is a MEDICAL SCHOOL with a great hospital.
Dude, I love you, but sometimes you're very depressing.
I've had this very discussion with my wife.
How? Because nearly all non-STEM academics trace their roots back to Marx, Lenin, Lukacs, Marcuse, Adorno... Derrida....
are they checking liking of tweets now???
whats going on ???
